Following the comments, the shows creator Lin-Manuel Miranda posted via his personal Twitter account, “Proud of @HamiltonMusical. Proud of @BrandonVDixon, for leading with love. And proud to remind you that ALL are welcome at the theater.”

The Broadway actor has now appeared on CBS This Morning. He was questioned about the speech and later of president-elect Trump’s demand for an apology from him.

You can watch his response from the show below…

Hamilton is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. HAMILTON’S score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway – the story of America then, as told by America now.

The show will arrive into London’s West End in 2017.
